How Do I...Use different text encodings?
This sample illustrates how to use multiple encoding formats available
from the System.Text namespace. A StreamWriter object is created
and passed a Stream object along with an Encoding object
from the System.Text namespace. Once created, any output method calls
on the StreamWriter object will be written in the specified encoding.
Dim Fs As FileStream = New FileStream("text.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
...
Dim T As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter (Fs, Encoding.UTF8)
T.Write("This is in UTF8")
VB
A StreamReader object is used to read text in a given encoding and is
constructed in the same manner as a StreamWriter object.
Dim Fs As FileStream = New FileStream("text.txt", FileMode.Open)
...
Dim T As StreamReader = New StreamReader(Fs, Encoding.UTF8)
Dim S As String = T.ReadLine()
VB
The following example illustrates creating StreamWriter objects
of different encodings and using each object to write to a text file.
Example
VB Encoding.exe
